One of the most critical undertakings of the Traffic Bureau in recent years has been the town-wide Traffic Calming Initiative. This has been a long-term effort to slow down motorists in problem areas and improve overall safety for pedestrians and motorists alike. The initiative has consisted of Speed Radar Signs for awareness and data collection as well as targeted enforcement utilizing Patrol Officers and Special Law Enforcement Officers. Data collected by the Speed Radar Signs has shown marked improvement in all of the problem locations that the initiative has targeted.

Child Passenger Seats
The Neptune Township Police Department is committed to assisting and educating parents or child care providers with information and technical service related to Child Passenger Restraint Systems. Statistics show that 4 out of 5 child care seats are installed or used improperly. In many cases, children are either not properly buckled into their safety seats or parents do not realize that a booster seat is vital to ensuring children fit safely in their vehicle’s seat belt. Don’t take a chance. Have your child’s safety seat inspected. The NTPD’s Traffic Bureau offers free inspections performed by certified Child Passenger Seat Safety Technicians. To have your Child Car Seat inspected, please email Lt. James MacConchie of the Traffic Bureau at jmacconchie@neptunepolice.org.
